"Official" 2016 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - Trick or Treat Fun

How crowded is a sold out party night? Long ride lines?

I'd be interested to know this also as I'm going to one of the later October parties (10/25). I assume that this party will sell out.

Most people who go to the parties go for the party-specific activities, and don't make rides a high priority, so I wouldn't expect ride lines to be long, even on a sold out night. I could see there being an exception with HM though - I'm sure that's a popular ride at MNSSHP.

Tentative Sunday 10/2 or Tues 10/4. Current plan (in the middle of the interview process for a job that should be a sure thing, but you never know - so nothing is booked until job is confirmed) is a visit to the Darkside 9/30-10/4 or 10/1-10/5 with lunch at a monorail resort and MNSSHP night. We did MNSSHP in 2014 and had a great time, then I did an adults-only MVMCP last year with my mom and Aunts that was just amazing. DS really wants the US trip but DD is questioning our sanity of why we'd ever go anywhere other than DISNEY (with all the drama of an 8 year old girl ). Already planning to rent a car to avoid the lack of transport for US anyway, so why not!

I'd rather do the Tues night, figure the last cheaper Sunday will be more crowded and flights are cheaper Sat-Wed instead of Fri-Tues... decisions, decisions.

Last time we did characters and the first parade (on arrival day, exhausted kids - I've learned my lesson!). This time will be a pool/resort morning, TS lunch, then RIDES and the 2nd parade

I've attended several sold out parties, all Sunday nights and all September dates. It can feel crowded on Main St., especially if you enter the park right at 4pm, and of course as people gather for the shows and parades. The crowd thins out as the night goes on. The lines for rides will be short. We've never waited more than 5-10 minutes for anything, other than HM, PP, and SDMT. The short wait times are the whole reason we go to the parties!

Ticket's purchased for Friday, October 28. I expect it to be a busy evening, but our options were that night or the 31st!

Still quite a bit to do on them but costumes are at least progressing. Gaston is pretty much entirely finished other than finishing his hair. Belle is about halfway done. Her blouse is finished and her dress and apron are both about 50% done. All in all I think they're coming along well. Not the greatest pictures but you get the idea!

Amazing! I'll have to order ours.

Does anyone know if Jungle cruise closes earlier then 7pm on party nights?

Purchased 4 tickets this morning for 09/02. Print at home (no free shipping to Canada). The numbers are 65, 66, 67, and 68. Maybe this date isn't popular lol? We are excited to be in Disney over Labor Day weekend and can't wait for our first party.

Friday October 28th is the only night we can go as well and I am purchasing the tickets right now. I assume it will be sold out as well, but that is okay. Some Mickey is better than no Mickey. I keep telling both kids to give me costume ideas but they have nothing so far.

Do you typically see people in non-Disney costumes?

For us, as 2 adults, sold out is not a problem at all. We plan to be there by 4 pm, and we'll stay right until the end. We'll watch the 2nd parade, stage show and fireworks. Other than meeting Gaston and Belle (since that's our costumes), everything else is fluid. Which means a sell out doesn't affect us as much, since we have so little on our 'must do' list.

Well, I guess the whole ticket sequence theory can be thrown out the window now, since I bought tickets for Sept. 2nd on the day tickets went on sale and my ticket numbers are 2496, 2497, 2498 and 2499.

I just purchased the tickets for October 28th and we are ticket numbers #26-29.

Yikes, let's hope you're right! I'm also attending on the 2nd. I also ordered my tickets the morning they went on sale. I got the tickets in the mail last Friday but forgot to look at my ticket numbers. I'll do that when I get home from work. I'm really curious what they say.

I think the 2nd will be busy since many people like myself moved their trip, just a day for us, so they can attend a party since they start so early this year.

In my mind, I'm planning on a sell out crowded party but I am also LOUDLY hoping that Disney will have their act together this year, unlike last year, and get those nonparty guests out of the park by 7 so it's not a fiasco like last year!!

I can take a sellout but I cannot take being ripped off on my last night at Disney on my last Disney trip for a very long time.

I hope you can hear me Disney!!!

We also extended our trip by a day to attend the first party. I think it will be sold out.

Yes! Yes! Yes! This!

They may be using different numerical sequences according to the country the purchaser resides in. I'm sure this is information they would like to have for marketing purposes. Is anyone else with low numbers purchasing from outside the US?

Foiled again.

You'll see all kinds of costumes. Last time I was there i saw a group going as the X-men. There was a Mystique, Wolverine, Phoenix, and Cyclops. I go as a character from Wicked. I honestly think I saw more non-disney costumes then disney ones on adults.

I'm Canadian and my numbers are just below 2500. It was a good theory for the moment though.
